Abstract
A connector for use in connecting two perforate members at a predetermined angle. The connector comprises a base plate. A first catch member on the base plate is able to engage in a perforation in one of the perforate members. A second catch member on the base plate is able to engage with a perforation in the second perforated member when the two members are placed together at the predetermined angle. A third catch member on the base plate is able to engage a perforation in each perforate member that is spaced from a perforation engaged by the first and second catch members. An offset is formed in the plate between either the first or the second catch member and the third catch member. The offset is about equal to the thickness of one perforate member.
Claims9
A connector for use in connecting two perforate members at a predetermined angle, the connector comprising;
- a base plate;
- a first catch member on the base plate able to engage in a perforation in one of the perforate members;
- a second catch member on the base plate able to engage with a perforation in the second perforate member when the two members are placed together at the predetermined angle;
- a third catch member on the base plate able to engage a perforation in each perforate member that is spaced from a perforation engaged by the first and second catch members;
- an offset formed in the base plate between either the first or the second catch member and the third catch member, the offset being about equal to the thickness of one perforate member;
- the three catch members each being L-shaped and extending outwardly from, and substantially parallel to the base plate.
A connector for use in connecting two perforate members at a predetermined angle, the connector comprising;
- a first limb formed with a first catch member able to engage in a perforation in one of the perforate members.
- a second limb formed at about the predetermined angle to the first limb and formed with a second catch member able to engage in a perforation in the second of the perforate members when the perforate members are put together at the predetermined angle;
- a third catch member adjacent the intersection of the limbs, aligned with the first catch member and disposed at the predetermined angle to the second catch member and able to engage in a perforation in each of the perforate members when the perforate members are placed together at the predetermined angle;
- an offset in one of the limbs between the catch member in that limb and the third catch member the offset being equal to the thickness of one perforate member;
- the three catch members each being L-shaped and extending outwardly from, and substantially parallel to, the limbs of the connector.
